Brace Up.

You are feeling depressed, your
appetite is poor, you are bothered with
Headache, you are fidgetty, nervous,
and generally out of sorts, and want to
brace up. Brace up, but not with
stimulants, spring medicines, or bitters,
which have for their basis very cheap,
bad whisky, and which stimulate you
for an hour, and then leave you IN
worse condition than before. What
you want is an Alternative that will
purify your blood, start healthy action
of Liver and Kidneys, restore your
vitality, and give renewed health and
strength Such a medicine you will
find in Electric Bitters, and only SOC a

An Arkansas City man tried his
hand at prophecy five years ago when
the town had hardly dared to dream
of glory and greatness. He prophesied
that the city would have a population
of 6, 900 in 1887, and was laughed at.
His prophecy proved true. Now he
says in 1900 the city will contain more
than 1OO, 600 people.

Their Business Bo.m!ng.

Probably no one thing has caused
such general revival of trade at Ben
Wheldon's Drug Store as their giving
away to their customers of so many free
trial bottles of DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption. Their trade
is simply enormous in this very valuable
article from the fact that it always
cures and never disappoints. Coughs,
Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and
and all throat and lung diseases quickly
cured. You can test it before buying
by getting trial bottle free, large size

SINCE Boston Corbett, the man who
shot Wilkes Booth, has been placed in
the insane asylum, his effects at Con-
cordia, Kansas, have passed into the
hands of an administrator, and among
them was the identical old Enfield rifle
with which Corbett shot the slayer of
Lincoln. This old weapon has been
purchased for the paltry sum of IS by a
G.. A. II. past at COncordia, and will be
kept as a relic.-State Journal.
The above makes very interesting
item, but if we recollect rightly, Corbett
shot Booth with a navy revolver.

If the editor of the NEWS had had
horse sense" he would have followed
the example of the horse in Professor
Bartholomew Equine Paradox, and,
on the beer question, rubbed his figures
out before giving them to the public
Republican.
''If'' the editor Of THE NEWS had
horse sense only, the probabilities are
he might be editor of the Republican,
and then it would be unnecessary to
rub out what he could not make.

THE Republican in a long editoria
this morning devoted to defense of the
Importation of our liquid refreshments
from Kansas City and neighboring
cities in other states, declares that by
this method only the wealthy are en-
abled to indulge in the luxury, and
that this class are not of the kind who
will drink to excess or paint the town
red; that it is the poorer classes, the
workingmen, who do this, and goes on
to say:
The class of people which the saloon
Injuries most, and through it the COM
munity, is the working class. 1t is the
laborer whose earnings are indiSpensa-
BILE for the purchase of family comforts
that most frequently becomes the sa-
looms regular patron. 1t is his wife
and children who experience the deep
est suffering. 1t is he that most often,
under saloon influence, develops into Q
criminal or vagabond.
The workingmen of Emporia will
feel flattered by this great solicitation
on the part of the Republican. Yet
the thought may possibly cross their
minds that this is only another species
of class legislation whereby the rich
may enjoy the pleasures of life, while
the poor are allowed to live if they can

ADoLPH SCHENCK, one of the wit
nesses for the defense in the case
against Johan Most last week, testified
that he was an anarchist and in favor
OF bringing about a revolution in socie-
ty, if necessary by force. He described
anarchy as a condition of things where
in people ruled themselves in commun-
tiles, without any state or general gov
eminent, without courts, without law.
Common sense should be the only rule
of conduct. There should be no pun
ishment for wrong-doing except the
guilty persons own conscience, which
in time would set him right. Schenck
did not believe there was God to pun
ish perjury, but was aware there was
worldly punishment for false swear
ing. If the anarchists actually believe
as Schenck processes to they are insane
and should be placed in asylums. Such
a condition of affairs as they would
bring about would be worse than bar
barous. No one could own anything
which anybody else desired, murder.
theft, arson, nor any other crime would
be punishable, the weak would be trod-
den under foot and obliterated, and
men would become lower than the
brutes.
